There are many vacancies, no people: what HR problems did 2022 bring

Apocalyptic predictions about what will happen in the labor market by the end of 2022 do not seem to have come true. What are the real results, what problems do employers face,

Back in the spring, some labor market experts drew quite dramatic scenarios for the development of events in the Russian economy. Fortunately, these predictions did not come true - the figures confirm this.

However, the general world turbulence and the special state of affairs in RUSSIA affect both the dynamics of inflation and the ability of businesses to develop further or at least not give up their positions.

To understand the general situation, it is useful to refer to the report of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on monetary policy. This is valuable information not only for owners and top managers of companies, but also for HRD - forecasts allow you to make more informed decisions about people. Here are a few points that are important to pay attention to on the eve of the new year. It, as experts predict, will again be difficult.

External Background 1. Global economic growth rates are slowing down.
2. Inflation is approaching a historical high.
3. The risks of financial instability and a global recession in 2023 are growing.
4. Energy markets are highly volatile, i.e. energy prices change very quickly.
5. The volume of vacancies is growing contrary to forecasts with a minimum level of unemployment.

The last point is typical not only for the world labor market, but also for the Russian one. The demand for specialists from various professional fields continues to grow, but applicants are in no hurry to respond to vacancies that do not meet their expectations.
